Luke Bouma

I am currently a doctoral student in Princeton’s Department of Astrophysical
Sciences.

Most of my graduate research has been in exoplanetary and stellar astrophysics.
One of my main research interests is understanding the formation, evolution,
and long-term fates of planetary systems. One way I do this is with the
transit method.

Some recent projects:

Discovery that the hot Jupiter WASP-4b appears to have arrived early for the
TESS mission.
Its orbital period also appears to be shrinking.
